PROBLEM

Most DTC apparel brands between £3M and £30M are scaling faster than their operation can handle. Margins leak, cash gets tied up in the wrong stock, and the founder is still doing jobs that should have been handed off months ago.

WHAT WE DO

We come in as your Fractional Head of Supply Chain - embedded in your business, fixing the problems that are costing you. Not a consultant, or a full-time hire. An operator who gets in and does the work.

Strategic Audit

We map your operation and find exactly where money is being lost.

  • Margin leak analysis across COGS, freight, duty and inventory

  • Supplier terms and lead time benchmarking against industry standards

  • Identification of operational risks before they compound

  • A prioritised roadmap with commercial impact attached to each action
